These contributions are crucial for advancing our mutual efforts towards improved local development in Macedonia. About Local Systems Practice: Local Systems Practice is a USAID-funded activity that directly assists multiple Missions, partners, and constituents to design and adaptively manage systems-based programs in complex environments. The concept has been designed to aid Missions and partners to overcome four specific challenges to effective Local Systems Practice through: a) Listening; b) Engagement; c) Discovery; and d) Adaptation. The Theory of Change underpinning the activity asserts that the application of systems tools to complex local challenges at multiple intervals throughout the program cycle will enhance the sustainability of programming, resulting in better-informed, measurable interventions that complement and reinforce the systems they seek to strengthen. The LSP team is composed of both development practitioners and research institutions to most effectively explore and implement systems thinking approaches with Missions, local partners and other local stakeholders. The activity is lead by LINC LLC with five sub-implementers: ANSER, the University of Notre Dame, AVSI, the University of Missouri, and Practical Action.

This exercise was conducted by USAID’s Local Systems Practice (LSP), led by LINC and supported by a Macedonian partner, Macedonian Center for International Cooperation (MCIC). Our objectives were to analyze local development actors and assess the dynamics, relationships and levels of influence between the actors; identify the most salient organizations with meaningful ties to other actors; inform Local Works strategies to strengthen local networks and build capacity to increase their effectiveness; and strengthen local capacity to track changing network dynamics over time through ongoing ONA. ONA Roster: In line with the Research Plan submitted in March 2018, this ONA included stakeholder groups from civil society, public administration, private sector, media and education sectors. Our methodology relied on numerous resources and references to compile a database of 650 unique development-oriented organizations. Through outreach to all of them via an opt-in survey, we developed a roster of 197 organizations and 34 local administrations to whom we administered online surveys; of these, 139 organizations and 25 local administrations responded. For each of the participating organizations, data was collected and is presented regarding their legal form, human resource levels, services performed, sources of funding, and network linkages with other organizations in the ONA. Sub-Network Analyses: Relying on the survey data, and backed by quantitative data from other sources, this report disaggregates network analyses along four lines: i) Sectoral: Sub-networks based on seven development sectors that consolidate and include 18 formally-recognized CSO sectors; ii) Geographic:

    E2120 EMP Checklist for Construction and Rehabilitation Activities General Guidelines for use of EMP checklist: For low-risk topologies, such as school and hospital rehabilitation activities, the ECA Public Disclosure Authorized safeguards team developed an alternative to the current EMP format to provide an opportunity for a more streamlined approach to preparing EMPs for minor rehabilitation or small-scale works in building construction, in the health, education and public services sectors. The checklist-type format has been developed to provide “example good practices” and designed to be user friendly and compatible with safeguard requirements. The EMP checklist-type format attempts to cover typical core mitigation approaches to civil works contracts with small, localized impacts. It is accepted that this format provides the key elements of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) or Environmental Management Framework (EMF) to meet World Bank Environmental Assessment requirements under OP 4.01. The intention of this checklist is that it would be applicable as guidelines for the small works contractors and constitute an Public Disclosure Authorized integral part of bidding documents for contractors carrying out small civil works under Bank-financed projects. The checklist has three sections: Part 1 includes a descriptive part that characterizes the project and specifies in terms the institutional and legislative aspects, the technical project content, the potential need for capacity building program and description of the public consultation process. This section could be up to two pages long. Attachments for additional information can be supplemented when needed. Part 2 includes an environmental and social screening checklist, where activities and potential environmental issues can be checked in a simple Yes/No format.
